Hello from Morgantown West Virginia. As you know, on December 1, 2009, Jule Porter Wilkinson died peacefully in Norway, Maine. Per her wishes, she was cremated at the time and we were left with our sorrow and the challenge of creating a fitting memorial for her. You may have been wondering about saying good bye to Jule properly, and we are ready to do that now. The weather is better, and traveling is easier in the warmer months. We have thought all along that daylily season was the right time of year to hold her memorial because she loved them so much.
Who: Carroll, Christopher, and Samuel, as well as Samuel's wife Bobbi Nesbitt and their children, Alexis and Jack.
What: Want you to join them to honor the life of Jule Porter Wilkinson (1912-2009) in a memorial service followed by a celebration lunch where we can reminisce and share delicious food. (This would please Jule very much.) Burial of her ashes will take place early on the morning of July 31 in a private family graveside service at the Shedd Road cemetery where Jack and Steve are also buried.
Why-She was an extraordinary and greatly loved person; we want to remember her with you and reflect on her enriching contributions to our lives.
When/Where July 31, 2010 11:00 am at the Oxford Hills Funeral Service Building followed by a catered lunch at a location to be determined.
Please mark your calendar for Saturday July 31 and hold the date until we are able to send further information, including a place to stay if you will be coming from out of town. Whether you are in town residents or friends and family from far way, we would love it if you could be with us and participate by writing your memories and sharing them that day. If you cannot join us in person, please contact us at here to see how the plans are developing and write something to us which we will share that day. Please come in person AND visit the website if you can.
If you are thinking of coming from out of town, please consider blending this service into other satisfying plans in New England; there are many wonderful places to visit and enjoy. Jule would definitely want you to do that if you can.
We look forward to seeing many of you in July at what we hope will be a comforting and joyous gathering.
Love to all-
